Growing up, I watched and enjoyed movies such as Short Circuit, Space Camp, and the Terminator. There would be no doubt in my mind that we as humans would be able to create artificial intelligence. I figured it was a no brainer as a watched the robots on the big screen think and make decisions on their own without any human input. Later on, as an adult you begin to realize that movies are fiction and it would take a very intelligent human to create artificial life that could make its own decisions and function like a human.

With the help of Hollywood, when we think of artificial intelligence, we tend to think of immense robots that walk, talk, appear human, and also make friends with people such as a human would do. We need to examine the meaning of the word artificial intelligence. All textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents" where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines.” Reading these definitions brings a greater understanding as to what artificial intelligence is and the fact remains that it has been around a lot longer than we think.

I remember my mother buying a vacuum in 2002 called the iRobot. It would roam around the house without a handle or a remote control and vacuum the carpet. The iRobot would know when to stop and turn and it would beep when it was full of dirt so you could empty it. If we look at what the definition of artificial intelligence is, then the iRobot falls into this category. There are many more inventions like this that fall under this category.

Social impact of artificialintelligence
When we are able to create machines smarter than humans, then those machines could do likewise, but much faster.
The problem of the threat of unfriendly artificialintelligence and losing control of the machines we have built remains unsolved.
Artificial autonomous agents are, in one sense the next stage in the development of technology. Autonomous agents perceive, decide, and act on their own.
A machine (such as your brain) cannot predict (and thus cannot control) a machine of greater algorithmic complexity, which is a bound on a formal measure of intelligence. As a consequence, AI is an evolutionary process: each generation experimentally creates modified versions of itself without knowing which versions will be smarter.
Moral destruction: could we become less human-indeed, less than human-as a result of advances in AI? This might happen if people were to come to believe that purpose, choice, hope, and responsibility are all sentimental illusions. Those who believe that they have no choice, no autonomy, are unlikely to try to exercise it. But this need not happen, for our goals and beliefs-in a word, our subjectivity-are not threatened by AI. The philosophical implications of AI are the reverse of what they are commonly assumed to be: properly understood, AI is not dehumanizing.
Political destruction could result from the exploitation of...

What is ArtificialIntelligence?
ArtificialIntelligence (AI) is concerned with building machines that can act, react and adapt themselves in response to a variety of situation and display behavior at least comparable to normal Human Intelligence
History & Origin of AI
The history of AI is as old as human history. Primitive man invented games like chess as today we play computer games. The idea of creating an intelligence being was proposed and discussed in various ways by writers and philosophers centuries before the computer was invented. The Roman poet Ovid wrote a story of a beautiful woman brought to life, later forming the fable “MY FAIR LADY”.
In the industrial ages, Mary Shelley and Dr. Frankenstein manufactured a man from separate components and brought him to life through electricity. By the 1960’s, fiction was beginning to mirror the goals of the most ambitious AI researchers. The films like Blade Runner Terminator, AI and many others showing gadgets and robots present a vision of cyborg machines almost indistinguishable from humans.
It was easy to develop animal-like intelligence but to embed human intelligence became difficult for the scientists.
Future & Scope of AI

...technologies are called ArtificialIntelligence. ArtificialIntelligence means that computers imitating human’s intelligent actions. ArtificialIntelligence is a branch of Science which deals with helping machines find solutions to complex problems in a more human-like fashion. This generally involves borrowing characteristics from human intelligence, and applying them as algorithms in a computer friendly way. Artificialintelligence had been advanced for such a long time and still progressing rapidly. Today, in our real life, we can easily meet artificialintelligence everywhere. We are using artificialintelligence in our daily life. Due to the progress of artificialintelligence there are lots of benefit .However, if there is benefit, there also can be demerits. There are many standpoints about artificialintelligence and about its future.

Intelligence is a being’s capability for logic, cognisance, thought, understanding, emotions, memory, planning etc. which are qualities naturally possessed by any living organism and to an advanced degree by human beings. When computer programs and machines are made to possess these qualities, this is what is termed as Artificialintelligence. It’s in a nutshell computer programs and machines that are capable of human-likeintelligence. It is not different from the similar field of attempting to use computers to understand human functions. AI is however not restricted to the confines of biologically observable methods.
Scientists have not yet fully exploited the full potential of artificialintelligence but it will no doubt have important consequences and implications to our lives. Among the benefits that we are definitely going to reap is that machines will take up complex tasks that we struggle to do and with better speeds. Machines are also capable of infinite function in addition to doing perfect and flawless work. Some areas that AI will come in handy and cause great leaps are meteorology and weather forecast, unmanned space exploration, driverless transport, transhumanism, medicine, financial industry, etc.
Artificialintelligence will no doubt help improve our lives on the most part but every great achievement must come at a cost. Machines...

INTRODUCTION:-
Artificial Intelligence is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines especially intelligent computer programs. There are several programming languages that are known as artificialintelligence languages they are used almost exclusively for artificialintelligence applications . The two most common are LISP and PROLOG . The ultimate effort is to make the computers of human intellectual level.
LITERATURE SURVEY:-
Artificialintelligence fall into four categories Thinking Humanly , thinking rationally , acting humanly and acting rationally . Thinking humanly refers to the cognitive science which are the scientific theories of internal activities of brain . Thinking rationally refers to the laws of thought which is normative rather than descriptive . Acting rationally refers to the rational behavior doing the right...

...Everyone has seen the movie ArtificialIntelligence by Steven Spielberg (or mostly everyone). The first thing they think it is would be simple, Robots. Robots who act and look like humans. The answer to what is ArtificialIntelligence is truly bigger than a lot of human beings. I’m saying this because with all honesty ArtificialIntelligence started out with something that most people do not have after the age of 10. That something is called “an imagination”. ArtificialIntelligence is engineering and science (Sloman A. 2000). ArtificialIntelligence is the capacity of a computer to perform operations analogous to learning and decision making in humans (this definition comes from dictionary.com).
To just say it started out with something as small as an imagination is a diminutive definition of saying artificialintelligence started out as a history of fantasies, possibilities, demonstrations, and promise. (Buchanan B. 2005). In fact, ArtificialIntelligence existed as early as the 18th century with the Turk. The Turk was a machine used to play chess. Chess has been and still is used for research during ArtificialIntelligence because you have to think quite a bit while playing it. Later on in 1801 came the first programmable machine called...
